Knutsford, Kamloops - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Knutsford Real Estate Check-In: Big Prices, Slow Market - Here's What You Need to Know
If you live in Knutsford and you're wondering what your place is actually worth right now, the honest answer is: it depends on what you're selling. This neighbourhood sits at the top of the Kamloops price ladder, but the market is moving slowly and values are drifting down. Let's get into it.
The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos - Two Very Different Stories
For houses, we're in a bit of a tough spot right now. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $1,149,076, but it's slipped 0.79% from last period. The predicted market value for houses is $1,158,237, and that number is trending down from the 3-month moving average of $1,176,206. Values have dropped 2.20% recently, which puts us at rank 26 out of 27 neighbourhoods in Kamloops for growth. That's near the bottom of the leaderboard - no sugarcoating it.
- Average house sale price: $1,345,400
- Average list price right now: $1,399,000
- Price per square foot: $585
- Homes are selling at 96.17% of list price - buyers are negotiating
- Average days on market: 168 days - ranked last in Kamloops at 22 out of 22
- Only 1 property sold in 2026 so far
- Rental yield: 4.58% with estimated rent of $4,576 per month
168 days on market is a long time. That's nearly six months of carrying costs, showings, and waiting. Knutsford houses are not flying off the shelf - and that's the reality we need to sit with.
Condos are a different story. Our condo market is actually holding up better. The predicted value is $762,700, which is up from the 3-month moving average of $751,667. Values have nudged up 0.50% recently, landing us at rank 12 out of 27 in Kamloops for growth - solidly above average. The HonestDoor Price for condos is $751,700, though it has dipped 1.44% from last period.
- Condo predicted market value: $762,700
- 3-month moving average: $751,667 - trending up
- Recent value change: +0.50%
- Growth rank: 12 out of 27 in Kamloops - above average
- Estimated rent: $3,500 per month
- Rental yield: 3.32%
- Airbnb rank in Kamloops: 9th - solid short-term rental potential
One more thing worth noting: Knutsford ranks 2nd in all of Kamloops for Airbnb income potential on houses. If you're sitting on a property here and not thinking about short-term rentals, that's a conversation worth having. The estimate runs around $226 per night.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice - it reflects a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. In a neighbourhood like Knutsford where values are shifting month to month, that number can be thousands of dollars off from what a buyer would actually pay today.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual transaction data, current listing activity, and neighbourhood trends - not a government formula that's already six to eighteen months stale. Right now, with house values down 2.20% and the predicted value sitting below the recent sale average, the gap between your assessment and your real-world number could be significant. Checking your HonestDoor Price takes two minutes and gives you a current read - not last year's guess.
Your neighbours in Upper Sahali, Aberdeen, and Rose Hill are all priced lower than Knutsford. Upper Sahali houses average $688,889. Aberdeen sits at $806,693. Rose Hill comes in at $895,960. Knutsford commands a premium - but only if you price it right for today's market, not last year's.
The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?
If you're a house owner in Knutsford and you're thinking about listing this summer, here's the straight talk: the market is taking a breather. Prices are softening, homes are sitting for nearly six months on average, and buyers are coming in below list price. That doesn't mean you shouldn't sell - it means you need to go in with clear eyes.
Pricing sharp from day one matters more here than almost anywhere else in Kamloops right now. A house that sits for 168 days gets stale. Buyers start wondering what's wrong with it. If you list at $1,399,000 and the real-world value is closer to $1,158,237, you're setting yourself up for a long, frustrating wait and likely a bigger price cut down the road.
If you own a condo in Knutsford, the picture is a bit brighter. Values are nudging up, the growth rank is above average, and the Airbnb potential adds another angle for buyers. Summer could be a reasonable window to move.
Either way, the first step is knowing your actual number. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to your assessment, and you'll have a much clearer picture of where you stand before you call an agent or set a list price. That's the move.
